Marshall, does this only happen when you are pasting into an IDL
session that has other widgets or direct graphics windows open? I get
this when I am logged in from home on a slow 56k modem. Apparently,
when any windows are on the screen, IDL has a different input loop
which involves a lot of hidden communication back and forth over your
session link.

Quick workarounds:
* wiggle your mouse on an IDL window while pasting
* close the window while pasting

Unfortunately it also makes emacs's idlwave mode close to useless over
slow remote links.

Good luck in any case!
Craig
